Know a family whose lives could be changed by a new house? They might be in line for the next best thing - an “Extreme Makeover.”
The crew from ABC's “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” wants your nominations for a deserving person or family in Fort Wayne to benefit from a high-speed, wide-ranging renovation of a home. “We're looking for those special people who have amazing strength of character and go out of their way to help others - people who have really made a difference in their community and in other people's lives,” said Morgan Fahey, the show's supervising casting director, in a release.
“You know, a lot of people think you have to be a decorated soldier or save someone from a burning building to be seen as a hero. But there are a lot of people who are heroes to those around them because of the way they inspire others and quietly serve their communities on a daily basis.”
In addition to personal heroism, the producers are looking for families whose homes desperately need to be renovated or rebuilt.
“We really want to help families whose homes present major problems for the family, those big issues that can really affect the family's quality of life on a daily basis. We want to find deserving people who just don't have the resources, ability or time to fix those serious issues without some help,” Fahey said.
To be eligible, a family must own their own single family home and be able to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their lives.
Interested families should e-mail a short description of their family story to: castindiana@gmail .com.
The deadline for nominations is April 2.
